Conscience as a Candle light in Man
Beloved as I, rejoice in the ways of The Lord in your daily living , for
He put a conscience as a candle light in each man to search and judge
his thoughts and actions,because we are accountable to God. In
the process of life journey, God has given every man a power of choice -
It means that guilt is something very real to repentance , where one is
now led by the Spirit of God as sons of God, or a choice to end up as
an individual who gets to the point where his/her conscience is
seared,weak,corrupted to become an evil conscience that is unable to
help determine right from wrong, because they allow themselves to be
taken captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human
tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not
according to Christ. I have over the years in personal and ministry
encounters watch individuals treat their conscience like an alarm clock
as they are good at rationalising their behaviour by resetting it and
make it go off when they want ! While the aim of our charge as Christ
believers is love that issues from a pure heart and a good conscience
and a sincere faith. God can never be mocked, He said in Jeremiah
17:10"I the LORD search the heart and examine the mind, to reward each
person according to their conduct, according to what their deeds
deserve." In Christ you live in clear and good conscience, so
that, when you are slandered, those who revile your good behavior in
Christ will be put to shame in manifestation of time. Daily, regardless
of those who abuse our good conscience , let us draw nearer God with a
true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean
from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. We must
hold fast to the mystery of the faith with a clear conscience in our
daily endeavours.So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do
also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets. For all who are led
by the Spirit of God are sons of God, self discipline in keeping our
heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life to a God
fearing and victorious living. A reverential good and clear conscience
is a glorious and wonderful possession and Its value cannot be measured
on earth, of this I bear testimony to this day. May God bless us to
understand this great principle and to act upon it as it challenges to
comfort us. It is true as inconclusive with Romans. 9:1 " I am speaking
the truth in Christ—I am not lying; my conscience bears me witness in
the Holy Spirit—" now as yesterday & forevermore in Jesus mightiest
name....... Shalom!
